About King Leopold Ranges in Western
AustraliaThe King Leopold Ranges are a range of hills in the western
Kimberley region of Western Australia. The range was named on
6 June 1879 by the explorer Alexander Forrest, during an expedition
in the Kimberley area, after King Leopold II of Belgium, "for
the great interest taken by His Majesty in exploration".

Crossed by the Gibb River Road about 134 kilometres (83 mi)
east of Derby, part of the ranges are covered by the 3,921 square
kilometres (1,514 sq mi) King Leopold Ranges Conservation National
Park, managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation.

The ranges separate the main Kimberley plateau from the southern
Fitzroy plains and consist of quartz sandstone intruded by dolerite.
The ranges are shaped like a crescent with a length of 567 kilometres
(352 mi) running from the northern end of the Durack Range in
the East to east of Secure Bay in the West Kimberley.

The range is estimated to cover a total area of 30,794 square
kilometres (11,890 sq mi). The ranges, which have an average height
600 metres (1,969 ft), were named by Alexander Forrest in 1879
after King Leopold II of Belgium. The highest point of the range
is found at Mount Wells which is 983 metres (3,225 ft) above mean
sea level. The next two highest peaks are Mount Ord at 936 metres
(3,071 ft) and Mount Broome at 927 metres (3,041 ft).

From Fitzroy Crossing travel some 45klm towards Derby to the
Fairfield Leopold Downs Road turnoff. The road’s name is derived
from the two Cattle Stations it passes through to reach the Gibb
River road at its western end. Travel some 65klm up on the Fairfield
Leopold Downs Road thru a water crossing to Tunnel
Creek National Park. The main feature of the park is of course
the 750 metre tunnel that a creek has worn through the Napier
Range. The tunnel is the oldest cave system in Western Australia.
Then travel 150 kilometres from Fitzroy Crossing and 145 kilometres
from Derby to Windjana
Gorge.
